Cyberdevil's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Candy Jewels Story]

Far from an original game concept, but a good game! I like how it's all split into levels instead of one endless arcade venture switching those crystals, feels like it makes the pace a lot more nameable. Gives you a break between each trial. One thing I'd have liked to see: entire grouping of jewels disappearing, not just a line, when there are more of them together. For example, if you have a cube of four of one kind, and manage to make a line of three on one side, it'd feel more rewarding if the entire grouping dropped away. Also, the green and the blue colors feel like they have very similar nuances, would be nice with more contrast. Overall, it's catchy! Nice work!

Thanks for the detailed review! We will try to do better next game. As visually and in gameplay.

[Interactive FL: Churbbies]

This'd work well as a greeting card, I'm thinking if there was some sort of message it'd feel like it had a motive. Like: Merry Christmas? Or whatever occasion is relevant for the occasion hmm... Fat Tuesday? Not that the picture fits such a theme. It's a nice drawing though. I like the interactive details and ambient music. Fun looking at for a while, fun clicking around and seeing birds turn to flame, etc, it's charming, gets me in a good mood if but for a short moment! Nice work.

Thank you for the crit/ input =)

Good call with the message type thing. I will definitely work that in. Ultimately I am doing a series of these to bring light to the stuff toy project I am working on. I should indeed have a click-able item that ends up leading to that.

Thanks again for commenting!

[Doodle Brigade]

A simple and pretty addicting Tower Defense game! Graphics are slick, controls easy, gameplay great. I thought there'd be more focus on doodling though, considering the name. Like, drawing your own towers, stopping enemies with ink blotches, pen lines, etc? Good game though!

[Nick in Hell]

Such a concise and spon-on plot description! Platformer itself is nice and simple, controls smooth and easy, levels solid, graphics neat, and I like platformers so: it was fun to play! Not all that varied an array of obstacles, but the levels felt balanced, and the collectibles keep you going. Good game!

[Fatal Fighters]

Easy to understand, fun to play, and a good selection of characters to venture though battle with! Good game.

[Crap! I'm Broke]

A scenario I can relate to! XD Not usually with the same frenzy and desperation, but it was entertaining. Good idea; a fun game to go with it.

[Shift It Et]

Simple fun. :) I like the minimal design, and the transitions while moving blocks are pretty cool, like how you can drag them 'in a loop' from side to side, not just swap places. Feels like a well-thought out puzzle with the right amount of challenge!

[Sports Car Racing]

This was a pretty nice racing game overall! I like the 3D visuals, and yet the engine itself has that somewhat fake-3D feeling to it, and somewhat bound controls... maybe in how when you turn your car, it keeps reverting back to the middle, very unlike real car handling. The roads are very static too, nothing seems like an obstacle, you don't notice friction from the surface, nothing happens (apart from you slowing down) if you bump into other players, etc... not a bad game, but considering the visual appeal I wish the mechanics were more realistic!

[Arctic Avalanche]

Fast-paced, crazy, creative fun! Great everything, and the arctic theme's pretty neat, fits the season, looking forward to what other wintery games may follow!
